Scheduling, by the design of many organizations, is the one closest to the point of the sword.  This is where all of the previous planning hits the road.

My personal scheduling tool is a 3 X 5 card.  Every evening just before my eyes close, I fill out a to-do list for the next day for my department and for me personally.  The 1st card is as the ideas pop into my head.  The 2nd card is put into the correct sequence that tasks have to be completed.

Helena Rubenstein was the 1st woman in the United States to head up a fortune 500 company.  Her scheduling tool was similiar to mine but she had a special criteria when putting the list in order.  She would grade each event by how much pleasure or displeasure it would give her.  Then the event that would give her the most displeasure would go 1st, and so on.  She saved the best for last.

At a conference someone asked her why she did her scheduling that way?  Her answer, the day would get better meeting by meeting.  There was no dark cloud just waiting for her.  She ended her day on a high note.  Her subordinates told everyone that you did not want to be 1st on her list.  Last was a great thing.
